Lying between Menorca and Mallorca in waters of 100 metres
lie the two Italian Frigates of the Impetuoso and Pegaso.
Sank on the 11th of September 1943 they were the first
Italian casulties of the German airforce following the collapse
of the treaty between Italy and Germany.
Both vessels lie on their sides and were originally dived
in 1998 by an Italian team but have since remained undived.
This March, Simon and Marv will locate and dive both frigates
and will return in the April with a team from Deep Impact
D.C La Manga.
Depending on the condition of the wrecks there maybe further
trips planned for September 2008. If you would like to get
further information on the later trips please contact us
on expeditions@rebreathertraining.net
with current diving qualifications and a breif C.V.
EXPEDITIONS
Expedition work
- typically involving deeper, more challenging waters - is, arguably,
where rebreathers come into their own as the diving configuration
of choice. Allowing for less equipment intensive exploration -
particularly when used as part of a mission-format dive team -
rebreathers are increasingly becoming the norm for deep, long
decompression dives.
With proven expedition management skills, Rebreathertraining
can offer the best guidance and instruction on how to approach
this type of diving should you require it.
Rebreathertraining welcomes any
support for our expedition work from potential support divers
to equipment sponsorship. Please contact
us for more information on ongoing and forthcoming expeditions.
